lyrics

Hark now, over there in the distance,
No, it don’t make no difference,
We’re coming on.

We are not soldiers, fearless and brave.
The mountain that looms up ahead
Makes the boldest afraid.

But see now, there are sparks in the night.
Days like these it feels harder to keep them alight,
But we keep them alight.

Hark now, over there in the distance
No, it don’t make no difference
We’re coming on.

Hear me, good people will you hear me?
If you can’t hear me, feel me.
We’re coming on.

You will find no assurances here.
Victory’s not guaranteed,
And the way is not clear.

But this murky water is where hope resides.
Uncertainty makes us kick harder since we still just might,
We still could turn the tide.

Hark now, over there in the distance
No, it don’t make no difference
We’re coming on.

Hear now, hear the giant that’s waking.
The ground’s trembling and shaking,
We’re coming on.

And, oh, this too,
This too will pass.
The future is plural,
And so is the past.
And it’s true,
There’s no light on the path.
But each step is a movement,
And we step into the dark.

Hark now, over there in the distance
No, it don’t make no difference
We’re coming on.

Hear us, good people will you hear us?
Dusty, battered and glorious,
We’re coming on.
We’re coming on.
We’re coming on.
